Senior police officers said they have not received any reports of voter inducement or intimidation in the marginal constituencies of Aranguez/St Joseph and Toco/Sangre Grande.

The officers were responding to a tweet by Public Utilities Minister Colm Imbert who claimed on social media that he has received several reports of UNC activists in the Toco/Sangre Grande and St Joseph constituency attempting to induce and deter voting by offering $1,000 cash.

Snr Supt Michael Pierre of the Central Division said “I would have been through the entire St Joseph area and I also have patrols covering the area and I have had no such reports or information.”
